DEATH
Monday, January 15, 2007
well, my fish (below) died. well one did - rather nastily with milky white fungal strands (it's a bacteria but looks like fungus) growing all over it. the other's actually not dead but is currently in a bucket dying. i've only had the tank for 2 weeks so i'm pretty disappointed - they were very good looking fish. i have, however got some more. i cleaned out the tank and am not putting any plants in there for now just in case that aggravated the problem. i hope it's not the water. the new fish will hopefully be hardier. the guy in the new shop reckoned that the fish died because they were ill when i bought them. he said, "did you buy them from 'pets at home'?", to which the answer was "yes". he then said, "that's why". learn from my mistakes peeps.
Alex has reflux. this is tiring! hope he grows out of it soon, poor little boy.

Christmas fish school
Wednesday, January 03, 2007
We had a fantastic Christmas! We are, however, very tired! Instead of going to visit our families, we decided to stay in Sheffield and invite people up. This was because Alex is so little. I think we've made the shift into Christmas hosts now anyway - mainly because we've got mucho bambino but also because we have the biggest house! We had a lovely time and got lots of great gifts (we also got to give some great gifts away!).
You may notice a little boy wearing a new uniform to the left... Ben went to school for the first time today! This is what he looked like this morning - super! He had a great day (from what we could 'extract' from him - we didn't push too hard) and is looking forward to school again tomorrow. This is going to ease up Caroline Louise's week which is really nice - 2 kids spanning 2 years is a lot to look after but 3 spanning 5 years is very tiring!
I've also gone back to work today after a much appreciated (cheers Mikey B!) break over Chrimble. It's gonna be a very busy January (which is good in case you were wondering).
Lastly, my darling wife bought me a WONDERFUL prezzie; a fish bowl! Sounds naff and 80's right? WRONG! This thing is very clever and mahoosive. I love it and have 2 fishes (yes, fishes, like the site) in it already (you have to add them gradually). You can find them in the pics below along with a whole load of other pics from Christmas and Ben's 1st school day! Please can people suggest some names for the fish as I use up all my creativity at work. Winner gets a mars bar :) |
